Adopt a Coo

Most people who fall for a Highland cow will never own one — the block is too small, the fence is wrong, or the answer at home was no. This is the version of yes you can actually have.

You sponsor a specific, named animal in our fold. Not "a cow" — your cow, the same one every time, with her own page, her own photographs and her own increasingly documented opinions about the feed bin.

What you get is a quiet, ongoing thread of something good: a video every quarter, a card at Christmas signed with a hoofprint that we will not pretend she made herself, and an open invitation to come and scratch her behind the horns.

What we get is honest too. This is how a new fold funds itself in the years before it has anything to sell — and it means the animals stay here, well fed, on good pasture, while the herd builds. Nothing you sponsor is ever sold to an abattoir.

Adoptions open once our first dams arrive and have names. Join the waitlist below and you'll be offered a coo before adoptions go public — the first calves get claimed fast.

Sponsorship is a supporter arrangement, not part-ownership. You don't own a share of the animal, you can't take her home, and we make the husbandry decisions. Cancel any time; annual plans run to the end of the term.

Adoptions open when the first calves have names.

Waitlist members get first pick — including of who gets named after whom.
